Look Again!

(These are my random notes from the message today at Gateway Church; Listen HERE)

Mark 8:22
22 They came to Bethsaida, and some people brought a blind man and begged Jesus to touch him. 23 He took the blind man by the hand and led him outside the village. When he had spit on the man's eyes and put his hands on him, Jesus asked, "Do you see anything?" 24 He looked up and said, "I see people; they look like trees walking around." 25 Once more Jesus put his hands on the man's eyes. Then his eyes were opened, his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly.

I must See and Know God for who He REALLY is! I am made in His image. I cannot be who I should be; until I know who He really is.

Preston says there are three things that most people think about God that are NOT true:

You think God is boring.
You think God is distant.
You think God is angry.

God is omni-present, not so that he can catch you doing wrong, but so that he doesn't miss one moment of your life. He is the proud parent taking photo's of baby's first steps, times infinity! Not only is he the kind of Father that doesn't want to miss one of your games, He's the kind of Father that doesn't want to miss one-single-moment of your game/life!

This is the most important formula you will ever learn.

A+B=C
A: 1 John 4:7 God is Love
B: Psalms 139:7-10 God is everywhere
C: God's Love Is Everywhere You Turn!

Are you more concerned with who isn't noticing you, than who IS? God is watching you with great interest and passion.

Like the blind man Jesus healed. If you can't see clearly, look again. Look at the one who is standing there in front of you. Look at Jesus!

If you can't see clearly, look to Jesus! How do you do that? #BeStillBeLed! Tweet That!

See God in your situation! #BeStillBeLed!

Stop staring at what you don't know, don't have, can't do... start staring at the One who has all answers, all possession, all power to do: exceedingly above and beyond all you can ask or think! Eph3:20
